Commended Entries

Hey, well it's been a very long time since i've posted anything on here!
Here's a snippet of what i've been up to lately :)
Two of my photos made they 'top 15' in a recent tigerprint competition. There were over 600 entries! I was very lucky and chuffed, to have not one, but two photos make it through to the commended entries below. 1st image of mine is the large deep purple flower on the top row. My 2nd one is the large soft pink flower in the centre (of row 3)

you can check out the other entries here http://tigerprint.typepad.com/competition/2011/09/commended-entries.html

floral inspiration

Florals seem to be everywhere at the moment, so here's a bit of inspiration for you from printsource, a great blog for trend forcasting.

Leaves

Leaf pattern is from a mini jewellery box from Marks and Spencer's January slaes.

Sclaf

Bought this scalf from H&M a little while ago, as I liked the ditsey floral pattern.

I like the paintely feel to this paper, which could be used for many occassins, as there were no captions on it.

I love to keep wrapping paper from presents if the colour or pattern catches my eye. They make a great source of inspiration. whwn buying paper myself I always look for lovely designs that will suit the person i'm giving a present to - I sometimes cut a scap off to keep for myself if it inspires me with an idea.
The pink patchwork is from quite some time ago, but it stood out to me, although i'm not really a 'pink' person I love patchwork and patterns and thought my mum would like it too!
